 Programme Design

The First Year of the course starts with a coverage of Foundation Subjects which impart to the students a sound knowledge of the essential functional areas of business. In the Second Year, the emphasis shifts to elective courses, which are designed to give the students as wide a choice as possible, to specialize in areas of their interest and acquire advanced knowledge and skills. The programme rounds off with a strong emphasis on integrative and value-oriented courses such as Business Policy, Business Ethics and Environmental Issues so as to make the student not only a competent manager but also a socially responsible citizen. Considering the phenomenal growth and importance of the IT industry, current topics related to Big Data, Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things are included in the programme.

A summer project spread over eight weeks between the First and Second Years enables the students to put into practice many of the key concepts they will have learnt.
